The Department of Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has published its intentions to add EN “ISO 11105:2020 Small craft – Ventilation of petrol engine and/or petrol tank compartments”, to the list of designated standards to the Recreational Craft Regulations (RCR).
This is a proposed update to the list of standards that businesses can use to show their products, services or processes comply with essential requirements of legislation, in this case the RCR. This process is the UK equivalent to the European Union (EU) harmonisation of standards to the Recreational Craft Directive.
In a new system launched by BEIS, proposals for new or amended notices to the list of designated standards are actioned 29 days after their publication on the gov.uk webpage, unless they are withdrawn or further modified before that date. Interested parties may object to a publication proposal within the 28-day timeframe by submitting an objection form to the email designatedstandards@gov.uk. The objection must outline why the standard does not meet GB essential requirements either fully or partly.
Full details of the latest proposals can be found on the gov.uk website here. For any further clarification on this process please contact the British Marine technical department via technical@britishmarine.co.uk.
